This adventure playground has all the activities you could think of, both on land and in the water.

May to September is the best time to visit if you're a surfer as the swells are easterly or southerly (the biggest swells most likely during June to September). We can arrange trips both morning and afternoon.

It also has one of the best snorkelling reefs and dive spots that we have been to in the Maldives located just five minutes by boat from the resort. Every Atoll in the Maldives is different and the Southern Atolls are known for their vibrant coloured coral. 

The Cinema Under the Stars is an amazing experience located in the middle of the island, set amidst dense tropical vegetation. With surround sound speakers throughout the trees, you are invited to lie back and enjoy the latest movie or an old classic . Let us arrange a private movie night just for you.

The nine Nest treatment rooms at the Spa are literally the best spa treatment rooms in the world if you are looking for a natural environment. Access is via a bridge with some nests facing the beach and others set higher in the canopy of the palm trees. An arched doorway leads you in. The treatment rooms are cooled by the natural breezes from the lagoon. They are shaded by the twisted branches that form the dome, with glimpses of sunlight filtering in. Absolute heaven on earth.
